I'm lookin' at the new vortech blower. It's a direct replacement pretty much and puts out impressive numbers. I'll be gone a year so I have plenty of time to figure out what I want

I know the painful feeling of walking out to the mustang with snow all over it haha.

A few weeks back I was at a "Dining out" party with other air force cadets and i wore my new suit and everything, it was great, and got a bunch of compliments on the car on my way in. Well while we're out it starts snowing heavy, and when we walk back out there's about 4-5 inches down all over the poor baby. To make everything even better, my friend's car wouldn't start so I also had to give him a ride home and out here in Illinois, apparently we're so broke we don't believe in plowing roads until the last flake of snow hits the ground.

So began the folly of trying to wipe off the car while keep my suit from getting messed up, and then sliding my way back to my friends house and then my own. This wonderful event inspired me to invest in chains. lol

lol, he spun out in a minivan? Wow, the people over here just plow into trees and light poles haha. Those things usually have atrocious understeer
And yeah, I went up some hills sideways today, I swear, the day I get the snows taken off(we had a huge pause in snow fall over winter break) the snow starts to pour down
Gotta get em put back on this weekend...

...at least they were in my day. 1966-1990. Before the AF got more gentile, they were pretty knock down affairs. Come to think of it when wives were invited it was called a "dining out" and they didn't calm down the affairs a bit, but that was way back when.

And that "suite" isn't it a mess dress?
